In an effort to maximize social impact, the CSC coordinates the Agency Capacity Building Committee (ACB), which is co-chaired by Council members Mr. Jeffrey Wood, Ms. Alyssa Fonganholi, and Ms. Julia Musella. The ACB provides a forum for networking and sharing resources among all organizations serving children and families in Broward, with a focus on emerging and maturing organizational leaders.
